About El Croy

After traveling the world and having lived in Australia for quite some time, my husband and I decided to settle down in Lauderdale by the Sea, as most of our family lives in South Florida. We have lived in various parts of Fort Lauderdale, but we seemed to click with the relaxed atmosphere and community that Lauderdale by the Sea offers. We love the outdoors, the beach lifestyle, and everything that comes with it. Come see why we made this our home!

El Croy purchased this villa in 2014

Why El Croy chose Greater Fort Lauderdale

This area really has everything you could want in making a memorable and enjoyable South Florida vacation. Shops, bars, restaurants, and of course the beach all within a stones throw away.

Immaculate and Sunny with excellent location

We had a great stay. The place was sparkling clean, sunny, updated and located in an excellent spot. Nice, quiet neighborhood that was 2 blocks to the beach and great restaurants. Our hosts where friendly and helpful, available if we had questions, but kept to themselves and gave us complete privacy.

My only suggestions would be to use less fragrant cleaning supplies ( the dryer sheets where quite strong) and fix the dishwasher door. It seemed to have a hinge problem. We would defiantly recomend the unit and plan to come back next year.

Wonderful cottage in a fabulous location

One of the best vacation rentals I've ever had. Very comfortable furnishings and bed, flat-screen TVs in both LR and BR, two decent bathrooms and a full kitchen that was better-stocked with small appliances, cooking utensils, and dinnerware than I've ever seen. El was there when needed and never when not. Parking right in front. A short walk to the beach with at least two dozen restaurants, bars, cafes within a few minutes walk. Even an authentic French patisserie/boulangerie around the corner. Wonderful Vietnamese restaurant within two blocks. No car needed!!

All of this costs a bit extra than some others, but worth every penny if you're looking for a care-free and comfortable vacation in a fabulous location.

Great Spot!

If you are looking for an immaculate property in a perfect location, this is the one for you! As the other reviewers have mentioned, no car needed. You are an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, and some limited shopping. Easy access to a grocery store as well. El and Max are wonderful hosts - very accessible when you want them, but definitely not intrusive. They had some good suggestions for restaurants, and there is a good variety available in all price ranges. If you want to eat in, there is a full kitchen and it is adequately stocked for cooking vacation type meals. We enjoyed the outdoor eating area for morning coffee and lunch - it was very private and quiet. The unit is very comfortable and you really could eat off the floors! The internet service and tv is good, there are some games available for bad weather days, and it really is nice to have a laundry. Dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent are provided, and they even welcomed us with some coffee, tea, a bottle of wine, and some chocolates. We really felt like welcome guests. Highly recommend for a great beach getaway.

Excellent accomodations!

This property was exceptional in all ways! It was super clean and modern, with special attention to details, including fresh flowers in vases for the dining tables. the hosts were perfect. They were there to greet us and acquaint us with the property. we felt confident that they would be there for us if needed. We had a battery issue in one of the "candles" and they promptly provided outdoor lighting for us. We can't say enough positives about this place.

Great place in a wonderful location

Walking distance to the beach, many restaurants, grocery store, drug store, liquor store! The house was extremely clean, very comfortable and well equipped. Sitting areas are available in the shade or the sun which was nice. There is an outside eating area which we liked. Owners El and Max are friendly. El recommended restaurants and the one that we liked the most is Blue Moon Fish Company. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable, clean place near the beach and amenities, you will really like this place.

Beautiful property with wonderful outdoor dining and a short walk to the beach

We had a fabulous week in this property in April with our two year old daughter and 10 month old son. The property was spotless and creatively furnished and decorated. It was breath-taking on arrival. We loved the outdoor dining areas - one completely private area at the back of the property with a table and chairs and wooded decking in complete shade (great for our babies), another private area at the front with a table and comfortable deck chairs, and then a lovely raised table with bar stools also under shade where we did most of our dining. This is all in addition to a good-sized dining table with chairs inside the property. The property was impressively well stocked with everything you would need and more (gas barbecue, lots of lovely white towels, beach towels, great kitchen stock) and with lovely attention to detail (e.g. chocolates and drinks in the fridge; baby-friendly sun cream and insect repellant). It was really comfortable too - a large soft L shaped sofa in the sitting room area with a nice rug there. Elsewhere sparkly white tiles which were nice to walk on bare foot. We slept on the double futon in a corner of the large open plan living area (felt almost like a separate room) while our babies had the master bedroom (lucky them). The master has great ensuite shower room. The washing room was also fab - separate washing machine and dryer, laundry basket, washing tablets provided. The owners El and Max are charming. They live next door and went out of their way to help us while also giving us all the privacy we needed. They recommended two fabulous restaurants for us. One of them is higher end of the market (called Kaluz) but it was okay to dine there with our babies at lunch time. We had absolutely delicious seafood here (ceviche, sea bass, snow crab salad) and the views are great. The other was Burger-Fri which serves really good fast food burgers and excellent fries with a great selection of ales/ beers. We specifically wanted to get around by foot on this holiday and this property was perfect for that - no car needed. The beach was really close and a manageable walk for our toddler. Supermarket about 10 mins walk away. Loads of shops and restaurants all close by. We had no complaints and wouldn't hesitate to return. A big thank you to El and Max!
